Anchor Mooring Line Computer Program User's Manual for Chain-Soil Analysis Program (CSAP)

摘要

This FORTRAN computer program performs the design and analysis of single-leg chain/cable mooring lines associated with drag/fixed anchors embedded in a cohesive or cohesionless seafloor. Any combination of chain and cable segments may be used to specify the mooring line. The program calculates a detailed solution of the mooring line from the anchor to the surface buoy. The program requires horizontal tension at the buoy as part of the input. In addition, either the total length of the mooring line or the horizontal distance between the anchor and the buoy or the angle of the mooring line at the seafloor surface can be specified.
